Oznog:bingo the psych-o: Islam does have serious issues but this guy isn't helping.

If you are a Muslim (or a Jew or a Christian for that matter) living in America the only thing I have to say to you is that there are alternatives. Buddhism and Jainism are two examples. Both are free of the calls to violence and misogyny that plague the Abrahamic faiths. You don't have to keep stepping over the ugly parts of the Torah, the Bible, or the Koran just to live a peaceful life. You are also free to keep your faith as well of course, whatever anyone else might say, myself included. You are also free to abandon religion altogether. Opportunities like this are part of the reason why America has never devolved into a theocracy like other nations have.

It's sad how shoe-on-head retarded most fundies are when it comes to Islam.

Pretend you're a fundy. You believe Jesus is God, you're against abortion and homosexuality, etc. For some reason, you want to take sides in a shiatty ethnic conflict 8000 miles away. Do you support:

(A) The people who think Jesus is a great prophet and saint, though not God. They are even more strongly against abortion and homosexuality than you are.(B) The people who believe Jesus was at best a fraud, at worst an evil man boiling in shiat in hell. They generally support abortion and homosexuality.

If you chose (B), congratulations! Your framed Jesus-with-M16 print will arrive within 4 to 6 weeks.

The last time I drank 16 beers was at the Indy 500 and I can't really remember much besides smoking weed on the golf course and some guy trying to charge money to look up the skirt of his passed out wife. I can't imagine 45.

interestingly enough, Limbaugh spent an hour or so today calling Obama voters 'cultists' and saying people who vote Democrat are 'low information voters'.

Well of course. One of his quips in the 90s was something along the lines of 'no need to read the news as I will tell you what is going on'. Usually this was either right before or after his statement that his listeners didn't need anyone to tell them how to think (bashing the MSM).

Real Women Drink Akvavit:I watched Fox News one night. I wasn't sure if I should start with my insane giggling or be horrified. I went with "horrified" and turned it off. Dudes, like, really? It was some weird stuff they were selling, but not the kind I'd ever buy.

I went to the Titan Missile Museum south of Tucson a few months ago. On the way back we were talking about how crazy it was back 'in the day' with Duck and Cover and post-nuclear war movies and bomb shelters and so forth. We flipped on the radio and ended up finding Sean Hannity as he was interviewing Oliver North for his futuristic book set in 2032 that was, according to Sean, exactly true. We laughed and laughed and laughed. It was too crazy to take seriously. And yet I know people who do.
